It is decidedly impolitic, as well as impolite, to call one’s leaders fools and knaves. Kal v’chomer, even more so, when ones leadership are tasked with protecting half of world Jewry. Indeed, a monumental burden. G-d forgive me.

To be sure, a preponderance (though not all, but this is best left for another discussion) of Israel’s top leadership are seeking to secure Israel’s national interests. Nevertheless, operating “butt backwards” hardly gets the job done. In fact, it is more than accurate to posit – at lease since the onset of the “Oslo Peace/Death Accords” dementia – that they have failed miserably. There are thousands of Jewish graves, and many more maimed for life, serving as testimonials to the above. Rational folks would think that new strategies would have to be considered – as minimum, yet mandatory requirements – to save the Jewish homeland. Wouldn’t one?

YET, Israel’s deluded leaders obsessively harp on “democracy” and the need to “rise above” those who wish to destroy the nation. Such warped views manifest into besieged thinking, therefore, its leaders become addled and construct counter intuitive “strategies”. Alas, they comport the nation’s business as if democracy is a suicide pact! It is not. According to their warped views, anything, and everything, may be sacrificed on its altar. This may seem over the top to some, but not to those who know Israel’s modern history, its leaders, and their “strategic policy-making”.

Let us recapture some of the above truths, and they are gleaned through the following highlights:

The above failures of leadership led to November 2012’s unfinished foray into Gaza, but not due to any operational failures by the IDF and its intelligence arms. They performed brilliantly. This is without a doubt. Alas, the politicians, always led around the nose by Washington, allowed the Islamist-in-Chief to dictate Israel’s war plans, as if he is the master of Israel’s fate, and not Jerusalem’s leadership. Ghetto Jews.

So where is Israel now, just a few short months after the “cease/death fire”, in relation to Hamas? It is a sure bet, not only are they negotiating with Hamas, but giving them everything they wanted from the get go! In plain language, why the hell did Israel go to war (defensively, no less, after yrs of missiles and rockets raining down on Israeli heads) if they are caving in anyway? Does insanity know no bounds? Apparently not. Of course, Israel’s leftist media will spin these developments into pretzel-form, maintaining that the leaders have finally come to their senses. That giving into their demands is what they should have done years ago, and then everything would have come out peachy. Well, leftists never get tired of appeasement, but nationalists are getting sick and tired. Yes, we are.

‘Report: Israel, Hamas Holding Secret Talks Through Egypt’

Israel has been holding secret negotiations with the Hamas terror movement since the end of its Operation Pillar of Defense, Channel 2 News reported on Friday.

According to the report, the Egyptian-mediated talks are being held as part of the ceasefire reached between the sides at the end of counterterrorism operation in November and which said that both sides will refrain from attacking one another and the sides will work to reach understandings.

Channel 2 News indicated that an Israeli delegation that arrived in Cairo on Thursday came to Egypt for the purpose of holding talks with Hamas, through Egyptian mediators.

Until now, the negotiations have been conducted under a veil of secrecy, said the report, which added that according to the understandings reached between the sides, Israel will agree that the Rafiah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt be opened for the passage of commercial goods and construction materials.

As well, one of the items being discussed in the talks between Israel and Hamas is to open the border crossings for the transfer of agricultural materials. At the same time, reports in the Arab media have indicated that one of the issues around which the meetings revolve is the terrorist prisoners being held in Israeli prisons.

Despite the constant claims by Gaza’s terrorist rulers that Israel is imposing a “siege” on the region, Israel has consistently allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza, approving internationally funded and monitored projects in the region. Since 2011, 235 projects have been approved. In September 2012 alone, 16 new projects were approved.

Israel has also supported the private sector in Gaza, and has approved the transfer of raw materials for private sector construction, including roof tiles, building stones, dry wall, mosaics, adhesives, plaster, etc.

Hamas, however, has not been satisfied with the aid it receives from Israel and has been trying to punish the residents of Gaza by attempting to reduce the scope of Israeli goods entering the region.

With Israel tightly supervising the materials which enter Gaza through its border crossings and with the borders with Egypt being closed, Hamas has smuggled in materials, including weapons and explosives, through underground tunnels which connect between Gaza and Egypt.

The terror group is making at least a million dollars a day in “tax” money from Gaza smugglers, providing “protection” to smugglers and collecting payments for the service, then using the smugglers to order goods for their own use.”

Adding to our collective misery, here they go again, even as this American-Israeli has shown them the error of their ways. So, instead of letting terrorists starve, as they execute hunger strikes from Israel’s jails, what do Israel’s appeasing leaders do? They release them! ‘Freed Terrorist Hunger Striker Declares Victory…A terrorist freed after a long hunger strike tells PA media he feels ‘victory over the occupation.’ www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/166404#.UUmIthz-Fn0. For crying out loud, why aren’t they listening to the following:

‘Op-Ed: No Crime Without Punishment’

There is a method to the madness.

Adina Kutnicki

The most effective way for a leadership to demoralize its citizens is to demonstrate to them, through both calculated words and unfathomable deeds, that their foundational moorings are unjust. Israel’s leaders have precisely pinpointed their attacks to be able to steer its Jews away from Zionism to post-Zionism, regardless of all their protestations to the contrary that they too are reallyZionists.

Zionists are made to feel, through a myriad of actions intentionally undertaken by the Israeli regime, that not only is a post-Zionist outlook just, but that persisting in a Zionist outlook will cause many more Jewish deaths. The leadership understands that creating visual aids is a powerful tool. There are few more devastating sights than helplessly witnessing the release of captured terrorists, and the pardoning of many more terror leaders.

While, on a daily basis, Jewish soldiers and security officers risk life and limb to capture these killers, the Israeli leadership treats their heroic actions as nothing more than a To further their post-Zionist goals, the secular elite pounced on several wellsprings.game of cat-and-mouse. Not only is this message seared into the souls of the soldiers, thus demoralizing them, but also into the consciousness of the terrorists. How many times have we witnessed the humiliating spectacle of newly captured terrorists smile for the cameras, wave victory fingers, and brazenly state that they expect to be released, while being hauled off to jail?

The terrorists have surely imbibed the message that a catch-and-release program is part of the Israeli leadership’s plans – no matter how heinous the terrorists’ crimes. If you were a terrorist, wouldn’t you, too, internalize the same hopeful message? No such positive message is aimed at the Jews.

Of course, there are varied excuses and babblings about why these releases are necessary – that “diplomatic” concerns dictate such “bold risks for peace;” that “windows of political opportunities” can’t be missed; and the tried and true refrain of “two states living side by side in peace.” To all the “sacrifices for peace,” these platitudes are nothing but a dagger in their already bleeding hearts.

In actuality, there is a goal-oriented method to the leadership’s perceived madness. That is, the remaking of our Jewish homeland into an Israeli (rather than Jewish) State. This persistent and dangerous vision imbibed by the ruling elite (particularly since the Oslo Accords) dare not be misinterpreted and left for another day. While this nightmarish scenario might seem like madness, or a pie-in-the-sky plan, to the average Zionist, secular or religious, this is the plan. Shimon Peres’s New Middle East‘ is the reason why scores of PLO terrorists were resurrected from the dead in Tunis, only to be implanted right into our heartland; shades of “capturing and pardoning” should come to mind.

To further their post-Zionist goals, the secular elite pounced on several wellsprings. To get to the heart and soul of the matter, they co-opted the Education Ministry. Through small, but steady incremental measures, they revamped a previously robust Zionist education. Ever since the tutelage of Shulamit Aloni, core Zionist ethos has been almost eviscerated. How better to brainwash the youth than to strip them of their Zionist roots?

To actually visualize and internalize their post-Zionist aspirations, many probing questions must be asked and answered. Why would a normal, supposedly Zionist Israeli leadership agree to turn tens of thousands of nationalist Jews into refugees, when no other country would dare commit such a violation of Jewish rights? Not only that, but the leadership ensured (through benign neglect) that the refugees would become helpless and hopeless pawns in their New Middle East plan – all in order to shatter their dreams of a Greater Israel, encompassing our historical and Biblical heartland. They broke every promise of their oft-repeated refrain before the expulsion, “There is a solution for every community.” Two years later, the Knesset is still promising and making clucking sounds, but, as expected, all comes to naught.

In addition, every time the IDF gets close to vanquishing our enemies, they are rolled back. Instead of operating as an offensive force, they have been mandated to wage a defensive war, whose core goal is “containment,” certainly not victory. Why?

Even if one tries to convince oneself that Washington and others prevent the IDF from achieving victory (through various measures), it still doesn’t take the absolute onus off the leadership. First and foremost, it is their sworn duty to protect their citizens.

In essence, Israel’s leadership has become legal outlaws. World-recognized, international criminal law expert Professor Louis Beres states, “Terrorism is a crime under
Israel’s leadership has become legal outlaws.international law, and incontestably one of the most serious. The precise offenses that comprise this crime can be found at the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism…. [Every] state has an obligation under international law to prosecute and punish terrorists…. [Any] person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible and liable to punishment….”

In addition, Israel’s Basic Law is very clear. Israeli leadership is obligated to protect the enshrined civil and human rights of its citizens – Zionists included. Doesn’t all the above violate this sacred law?

Look, my blood is boiling to the nth degree (all the way from the US) watching the spectacle of bloodthirsty Jew-killers (successful ones or not) once again mugging for the cameras and waving their “Palestine” flags. Their relatives are smug in the reality that their loved ones are now home, while Israelis at home mourn their own losses and are humiliated to boot. What precisely will it take for millions – yes, millions – of Jews in Israel to take to the streets, to finally rid themselves of the dangerous albatross around their necks?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. History has proven this to be the case. Therefore, only those who have the mettle to stand up, be counted, and say NO, dare lead the Jewish homeland, despite this or that triumph under their watch.

The above is an accurate and well documented assessment of the ongoing failure to achieve desired outcomes,which should no longer be “peace”.There is no capacity or interest in peace with sworn enemies.This is WAR,and the only solution to any war is to either defeat/destroy your enemies,or they will continue to attempt to fulfill their objectives even if it means martyrdom,.and their objectives are repeatedly articulated and demonstrated.Yes,there are consequences as in any war;ie:losses,costs,pain,etc.But the alternatives have not been effective,even after repeatedly incorporated.
Prophets like Jeremiah,Daniel,Ezekial have spoken,and voices like Adina must be honored and heeded,”lest a worse thing come upon thee.”
